[#SaveXboxWP] Asphalt 8 is NOT an Xbox Title: Let's Mobilize to Reverse the Trend.

As Usama Jawad96 mentioned above, on 30 June 2015, Gameloft updated two previously non-Xbox game Modern Combat 5 and Age of Sparta with Xbox achievements! This nullifies UPDATE 37 and UPDATE 70 in the original post. Both titles are free to play.

On 10 July 2015, ardent supporters of mobile Xbox gaming, Game Troopers, released their seventh Xbox-enabled WP game, the sequel to one of their most popular games,Tiny Troopers 2. Be sure to thank them on Twitter (@gametrooperswp)!

Microsoft has announced that Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition will have Xbox achievements! This is doubly good news because the Windows 10 Edition code is based on the Pocket Edition of the game, which, as we all know, currently does not have Xbox Live integration (boo!). So, this bodes well for the future likelihood of Pocket Edition of Minecraft on Windows Phone also getting Xbox achievements. Fingers crossed!

On 28 July 2015, our favorite developers, Game Troopers, released their eighth Xbox-enabled WP game: Abyss. Even better: Game Troopers on Twitter confirmed that this will be a universal purchase when the Windows 8 version launches later on, so don't hesitate to buy it now on Windows Phone: you'll get both later.

On 27 August 2015, Xbox gaming on Windows Phone was dealt a low blow as Square Enix released their first non-Xbox game on Windows Phone, Lara Croft Go . This is all the more surprising and upsetting since this game is spiritually related to the excellent, Xbox-enabled, and recently released, Hitman Go. Be sure to let @SquareEnix @SquareEnixMtl and @laracroft know you want Xbox support in their titles.

On the same day, Gameloft released their 10th non-Xbox game for Windows Phone since returning to Xbox development on Windows Phone, Spider-Man: Ultimate Power. Not a good day for mobile Xbox gaming.

In the face of the double-dose of bad news a few days ago, with both Square Enix and Gameloft publishing non-Xbox games on WP, Game Troopers, right on cue, has come to the rescue to lift our spirits, promising a brand new "secret" Xbox game coming to Windows Phone next week. Man, I love those guys.

On 1 September 2015, Game Troopers, a.k.a. the best thing to happen to Windows Phone since Cortana, released their tenth Xbox-enabled WP game via a surprise launch of Imperia Online. The title is free to download and is available for 512MB devices too, so there is no reason not to check it out and support our favorite WP publishers.

It seems that they still have confusion over the Store links, as that goes to Doodle God Planet. I'll use the Armenian Store link for now. Check out the game here, but you should be able to search for it directly from your regional Store via your Windows Phone.

On 17 September 2015, Gameloft released their 11th non-Xbox game for Windows Phone since returning to Xbox development on Windows Phone, Order & Chaos 2. I'd recommend picking up the prequel, Order & Chaos, instead, as it has Xbox integration.

On 22 September 2015, the #SaveXboxWP world imploded as previous bastions of mobile gaming, Game Troopers, after spoiling us Windows Phone gamers with 10 mobile Xbox games in the past 10 months, suddenly released their first non-Xbox game: The Last Door. I don't know what to say, as I'm still sort of shell-shocked by this one. I had thought Game Troopers was doing well because they had smartly targeted the pent-up demand for mobile Xbox gaming on Windows Phone, but their oddly non-committal reply to inquiries on Twitter that they "might add them in the future" seems ominous more than it seems hopeful or reassuring. As always, you can contact @gametrooperswp and let them know your thoughts.

On 9 October 2015, righting all that became wrong in the mobile gaming universe, after last month's shell-shocker of Game Troopers releasing their first ever non-Xbox game, Game Troopers is the Prodigal Son returned, releasing the Xbox-enabled game, Briquid Mini, their 11th total Xbox game. The game costs $2.99. If you like Game Troopers and like Xbox games, reward them by buying it, and give them a shoutout at @gametrooperswp to show your appreciation.

On 21 October 2015, Game Troopers is back on an Xbox streak, releasing the Xbox-enabled free puzzle game, Runemals, their 12th total Xbox game for Windows Phone. Give Game Troopers a hefty shoutout at @gametrooperswp.

On 22 October 2015, Gameloft released their 12th non-Xbox game for Windows Phone since returning to Xbox development on Windows Phone, Trivial Pursuit & Friends. I'd recommend picking up Uno & Friends instead, as it has Xbox integration.

On 29 October 2015, Game Troopers extended their Xbox streak, releasing the Xbox-enabled parking simuator game, Trucking 3D, their 13th total Xbox game for Windows Phone. Give Game Troopers a big thanks at @gametrooperswp.

On 6 November 2015, Game Troopers did the unthinkable again, releasing their second total non-Xbox game on Windows Phone, free-to-play puzzle game, FusionDot. That makes 2 non-Xbox WP games to 13 games with Xbox integration, so that's good, but this new trend of them releasing non-Xbox games too has me a bit worried.
